Abstract: Disclosed herein is a mechanism for attaching a gutter to the bottom portion of a roof so as to carry water away therefrom comprising an L-shaped bracket having a vertical and a horizontal leg, a hinged member attached to the horizontal leg at an extremity remote from the vertical leg and a releaseable fastener on the top portion of the vertical leg adapted to cooperate with a pop rivet disposed on the gutter. The gutter is hinged to the horizontal leg of the L-shaped bracket and affixed by the pop rivet to the fastener so that it can releaseably removed from the bracket and tipped over to remove the contents of the gutter which typically takes the form of leaves and other forms of debris.
